Poetry Thursday: Walking Away

Thursday, September 27th @ 9:57 am | Poem, Poetry, Poetry Thursday Tags:, , , ,

Remembering to look down every once in a while.

Walking Away

Scarlet on grey:
Trampled
By a thousand leather soles-
Discarded roses.

    every time I read this I make something new out of it,
    excellent poetry

    trample discarded roses, what could be they…
    thousand leather shoes, who could be they

    What a picture painted for so short a verse! Thanks!

    Poignant, provocative and perfect! Love the color contrast and the words that take on new meaning with each reading.

    The simplicity is just right

    Very vivid imagery. The first line is my favorite because you pack so much into three words. I still have not figured out how to do more with less in my work.
